Synopsis

Business Accounting is the world's best-selling textbook on bookkeeping and accounting. Its clear explanations, in simple language, a wealth of worked examples and large number of questions and answers, have made it a popular choice with both students and lecturers for over thirty years. Other popular features are its comprehensiveness, the clarity of presentation and layout and the structured manner in which it builds knowledge in logically progressing short chapters.

In this edition the distribution of chapters between the two volumes has been rationalised. Volume 1 now includes more-complete coverage of special accounting procedures and partnerships. Chapters on partnership dissolution, joint venture accounts, bills of exchange, and consignment accounts, have been incorporated from Volume 2. A selection of recent questions from examining boards and professional bodies has been included.
